Pink baby quilt is all done

I accordian fold all my binding as I press it. Then use selvedges to tie until needed. The folded stack fits great on my machine bed and unfolds like a dream. No need to roll into a ball or hand on a hanger.
I have not seen this sick squirrel today.
The sores started as a spot on her head.
(she is one of Stubbie's last year babies and she comes for peanuts too)
She is almost totally de-furred now. Poor thing....

I used King Tut variegated pinks for the top and a soft pink cotton thread for the bobbin. Lots of pins kept it all straight and even.


I am in love with diagonal quilting right now. I think I have been adding it to the last five quilts I have made. No marking I just eyeball.
This quilt is for a friend of mine, who commissioned this quilt from me, for a friend of hers upcoming grandchild.


Love the plaid binding....just says "I am done" to the quilt.


This picture is for Taya to see her choice of label for the back of this quilt.

Hubby was mowing the grass so I pinned the quilt back up on the design wall. He was not ready to hold a quilt up for picture taking.
I have one more smaller baby quilt to quilt then I can get back to my CRABAPPLE quilt designed by Bonnie Hunter http://www.quiltville.com

Quilt for Kids is finished!

Here it is . All done! I quilted it close as the instructions wanted. I think it turned out beautiful! Even better than I expected. I have fallen in love with diagonal quilting. No marking was done. I eyeballed all of it.
I added their label and took the liberty of adding my own.
A nice sunny day for whipping this out. All told I have only 6 hours in this. So come on quilters sign up to make one for the kids!
